    Very unfriendly host attempted to seat us in a congested section then in a freezing area. Seating area poor, under cold blowing air, had to request change of seats which the waiter graciously accommodated. The ONLY positive was the kind waiter. Limited menu and heard people remarking, what is this food? Once and done!

    First, positives. The place is beautiful - the plants, the light fixtures, the set up and overall ambiance - are terrific. The most important thing about any restaurant- the food - absolutely delicious. Amazing flavors! Our favorites were sweet potato latkes, short ribs, salmon and the classic hummus. What I didn’t enjoy was the incredible wait. It took us almost an hour to get the first dish, and that was after flagging our waiter. Children’s meal came an hour and a half after ordering. We came here to celebrate a birthday, a special occasion. The way we were treated didn’t feel special at all. So I probably won’t be back.
